Electric Smelter lowering crafting skill?

[Chuckles_TheHutt]

I'm aware that the Electric smelter currently doesn't increase the crafting skill of the colonist using it. However, when one of my colonists with a crafting skill of 11 and burning desire to learn more uses the smelter, it actually lowers her crafting skill. Anyone else have this problem?

once you pass skill level 10 in any skill... you will lose experience over time in that skill... you need to gain xp just to maintain it's level.

Sounds like a way to balance it so your guys wont become super good at everything over time

yes it can be modded out, and once you get older you maybe will see yourself that things you did in your youth regularly you cant do as good later if you dont keep doing it on a daily basis.

Skills between 10-19 decay over time but not below 10. IIRC, if you reach 20, it will not go below 20.
